On their 32nd international tour, Tango Jazz Quartet blends Argentine tango melodies and rhythms with jazz harmony and improvisation. Their repertoire traces a path from traditional tango to Astor Piazzolla’s compositions, delivered with the ensemble’s improvisational freedom. Led by Gustavo Firmenich (saxophone and clarinet), with Horacio Acosta (piano), Enzo Villar (double bass) and Ezequiel Vargas (drums), the quartet balances lyrical intensity and rhythmic drive to create an intimate, danceable soundscape.

18 September – 11 April

Created and performed by Cie La Bankize, this long-form improv piece builds three extended stories driven by audience suggestion and the recurring role of “you there in the back”, a volunteer pulled into the action. Performers Malik Kaufmann, Pierre Bitchatchi, Sara Rusalen, Thomas Demaurex and Yann Roux navigate sudden turns, comic risk and tender moments, shaping scenes in the moment. The work favours spontaneity, collective play and emotional shifts, inviting laughter, surprise and a sense of shared improvisatory intimacy.

16 – 26 September

Frank Martin’s opera La Tempête, after Shakespeare with a libretto by August Wilhelm von Schlegel and Johann Ludwig Tieck, returns in a new French-language production. Conductor Thierry Fischer leads the score while director Netia Jones stages a striking conception that makes electricity the source of Prospero’s powers. The cast brings poetic intensity to the island’s drama—Miranda, Caliban and the spirit Ariel—blending vocal nuance, atmospheric design and inventive staging to revisit exile, magic and reconciliation.

18 September – 30 January

Fiona is a sharp-tongued stand-up exploring dark themes with sly precision. Fluent in six languages and fluent in sarcasm, she weaves black humour that ranges from yoga to assisted suicide, balancing Swiss deadpan with an ego honed on Parisian stages. Her debut solo hour mixes scripted riffs and on-the-spot improvisation with the audience, delivering bite and lightness in equal measure. The result is a compact, daring comedy set that probes taboos while keeping a playful, theatrical edge.

27 August – 19 September

Un conseil d’ami is a taut, intimate theatre piece that probes the fragile ties between friendship and trust. The staging favours close-up interactions, subtle lighting and spare design to heighten emotional detail. Performers move between colloquial realism and heightened, poetic moments, navigating moral ambiguity and small acts of care. The piece invites concentration on gesture, voice and timing, offering a quietly intense experience of human connection and moral questioning.

15 September – 4 October

Chronicle of a fleeting liaison, this intimate theatrical piece examines the fragile architecture of desire and memory. Through concentrated scenes, the company maps the emotional aftershocks of a brief relationship, shifting between candid dialogue and charged silences. Lighting and sparse staging heighten moments of intimacy, while an attentive ensemble navigates tonal shifts from tenderness to unease. The production favors close observation and emotional clarity, inviting reflection on attachment and the traces left behind.

In French.
